A ROLLER COASTER WEEK


It has been quite a week filled with highs and lows hence the title, as is my way, I will start with the good things.

Sunwolf,(my RL and SL husband) and I have caught quite a few good shows on the circuit this week.It was good to see Mash Rhodes again, he seemed to have been away for a few weeks and though we are relatively new to his music he has become a firm favourite of ours. His set at the Blarney stone began early and finished late, meaning he did about an hour and a half instead of the usual hour set, no complaints from us we loved it and the Blarney Stone is a nice venue full of friendly folks having a good time which to my mind is what SL is all about.
We also managed to catch, Conor Savage, Rick ( Ugh Yeu), Laid Back Celt and his lovely lady Stinna pop star,
Rapture Damone, Tim Anadyr, PonDman Halan Mamaa Sez and Russell Eponimn by Venue hopping. Russell has just won an award for Best Male Artist in SL,it is well deserved as he is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet in SL and his music is always a joy to hear. Each and everyone of the aforementioned artists are performing shows well worth catching, so if you haven't seen any of them yet do please try to get there, I am sure you won't regret it.
Sunwolf and I do have particular venues we like to hang out in whenever we get the time. All the venues are doing a great job in bringing good artists and music to SL, but there are some we feel more at home in and tend to go to as often as we can, for me personally these venues combine pleasant surroundings with welcoming and friendly owners / managers, enthusiastic hosts/esses where used and an all round good feel. Cuddlers Cove,
Guthries and Spice are the ones we most frequent. Spice has just recently re located to a sim with less lag problems and I know Tim and Katja worked through the night to get the new Spice up and running. It is looking so lovely and Sunwolf and I wish them every success and are proud to say they are friends of ours.
Again if you haven't visited any of these venues, try to go along, I will be surprised if you don't have a great time.There is another venue we also enjoy that is for the moment not putting on shows and that is Bring a Friend and Stay Awhile run by  Still Braveheart, Still is unable to open at the moment due to ill health and I will take this opportunity to wish her a speedy recovery and look forward to the time we will be attending shows at her venue once again.
Personally, Sunwolf and I were delighted to be given an extension to our weekly slots at Guthries on Friday mornings, we can't thank Dottie enough, to be a regular part of the line up at Guthries feels like such an honour to us.It was a defenate high in this week
Another high spot was being invited to Laid Back and Stinnas home sim for an impromptu get together. It's a lovely sim, especially the hidden bit, and Stinna and LB both did a few songs. Our good friend Alix Pleides was with us and we all had a great time. Stinna took a few photos and you can see these on my facebook page (titled Sparrowhawk).
Finally, on the good side, Alix, Sunwolf and I, have  finished the pub we have been setting up on Alix's land and are planning to open this Wednesday (see photo). It was our dream to be able to perform in SL and dear friends have encouraged and supported us in making that dream come true (see previous blogs). We are now hoping to help Alix realise a dream of hers, and assist her running this little venue, which she has graciously allowed to be called Ye Olde WolfnHawk. Unfortuately none of us are wealthy folks so the venue will be tips only to begin with. We open for her (again an honour) on wednesday 14th dec
